Dynamic vehicle data structure and configuration adjustment
A vehicle wirelessly receives configuration data defining data-gathering and data-reporting parameters associated with at least one context. The vehicle defines data to be gathered by the vehicle related to the context and, as the vehicle travels, gathers the defined data. The vehicle compares the gathered data to the at least one context to determine if there is a correlation between at least one of the at least one contexts and the gathered data, and responsive to there being a correlation, sets vehicle data-gathering and data-reporting based on the parameters associated with the context to which the gathered data correlates.
1. A system comprising:
at least one processor, of a vehicle, enabled to:
wirelessly receive configuration data defining data-gathering and data-reporting parameters associated with at least one context;
define data to be gathered by the vehicle related to the context;
as the vehicle travels, gather the defined data;
compare the gathered data to the at least one context to determine if there is a correlation between at least one of the at least one contexts and the gathered data; and
responsive to there being a correlation, set vehicle data-gathering and data-reporting based on the parameters associated with the context to which the gathered data correlates.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context includes a geo-fence.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context includes a vehicle data snapshot.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context includes an occurrence of a vehicle-detectable condition.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context includes a vehicle task.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the defined data includes a current-task to which the vehicle is assigned, and wherein the task is received at the vehicle from a source remote from the vehicle.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context includes a context external to the vehicle.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the context includes at least one traffic condition.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the context includes at least one environmental condition.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the context includes at least one temporal condition.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters define at least a type of data to be gathered.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters define at least a volume of data to be gathered.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters define at least a type of sensor to be utilized in data gathering.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters define at least a volume of data to be reported.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters define at least a type of network to use in reporting data.
16. A system comprising:
at least one processor, of a vehicle, enabled to:
wirelessly receive configuration data defining data-gathering and data-reporting parameters associated with at least one context, while the vehicle is traveling;
responsive to the receipt of the data, define data to be gathered by the vehicle related to the context;
gather the defined data at a first available opportunity;
compare the gathered data to the at least one context to determine if there is a correlation between at least one of the at least one contexts and the gathered data; and
responsive to there being a correlation, set vehicle data-gathering and data-reporting based on the parameters associated with the context to which the gathered data correlates.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the parameters define at least one of a type of data to be gathered, a volume of data to be gathered, a type of sensor to be utilized in data gathering, a volume of data to be reported or a type of network to use in reporting data.
18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the context includes at least one of a geo-fence, a vehicle data snapshot, an occurrence of a vehicle-detectable condition, a vehicle task, or a context external to the vehicle.
19. A system comprising:
at least one processor, of a vehicle, enabled to:
wirelessly receive configuration data defining data-gathering and data-reporting parameters associated with at least one context, wherein the parameters define at least one of a type of data to be gathered, a volume of data to be gathered, a type of sensor to be utilized in data gathering, a volume of data to be reported or a type of network to use in reporting data, and wherein the context includes at least one of a geo-fence, a vehicle data snapshot, an occurrence of a vehicle-detectable condition, a vehicle task, or a context external to the vehicle;
define data to be gathered by the vehicle related to the context;
as the vehicle travels, gather the defined data;
compare the gathered data to the at least one context to determine if there is a correlation between at least one of the at least one contexts and the gathered data; and
responsive to there being a correlation, set vehicle data-gathering and data-reporting based on the parameters associated with the context to which the gathered data correlates.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein:
the defined data includes a current-task to which the vehicle is assigned,
the task is received at the vehicle from a source remote from the vehicle,
the context external to the vehicle includes at least one of a traffic condition, at least one environmental condition, or a least one temporal condition.
